TOILET APPLIANCE,

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 416,489, dated December 3, 1889.

Application filed September 2, 1889. Serial No. 322,729. (No model.)

T0 60% whom it nea concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES S. PARRISH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Clarksville, in the county of Montgomery and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toilet Appliances; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to hair-dressing appliances; and its object is to enable a ladys hair to be properly spread and dried after the same has been washed.

In the accompanying drawings, wherein like letters represent like parts, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the method of using the invention; Fig. 2, a detached perspective showing the form and construction of the device, and Fig. 3 a similar view showing the position of the supports of the device when applied to the person of the wearer.

A is a wire frame, bent and curved in the form and manner shown, and provided with the barsB, to spread and support the strands of hair intended to be dried. Arms 0, turning outward and inward within the pivothinges a, enable the frame to be attached to the back and supported by the shoulders of the wearer in the manner shown.

It is to be observed that the front part of the frame A is so curved as to approximately conform. to the curvature of the back of the wearer, and that the rear part of said frame is set at such an angle to the front part as to hold the mass of back hair clear of the garments of the wearer, and to enable the air to circulate among the under strands of the hair, and so to assist in the drying and purification of the same;

The modes of attachment and use are so simple and obvious as to call for no further description.

Having sufficiently described my invention, I claim as follows:

As a new article of manufacture, the wire frame A, provided with the bars B, the arms 0, and the hinges a, substantially as and for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

J AS. S. PARRISH.
